New guy from Missouri

Hi Fellas, my name is John. A little background of myself. I have always been a fan of Chevy trucks even before I was old enough to drive, I always loved the look of the 73-87 trucks. I have been building turbocharged 4 cylinder stuff for the last 10 years and finally decided I had enough of that after really looking into the LS stuff.

So, I am planning to build a square body with a fuel injected LS swap, I will probably try to find a nce lq9 and build that up for a NA setup to get me started. I also like to do fabrication, the last project was a 1989 Dodge d50 with a Mitsu 4g63t engine with a th350 trans and explorer 8.8 rear end, and a turbo off of a 5.9 cummins. Here are some pics of it:






I am hoping to learn some stuff here and maybe I can help you guys out as well!

Even though I don't care for imports, I can appreciate the work that goes into that. Was the mitsubishi engine a front or rear wheel drive originally? Nice job.

Wow welcome, lots here to learn, but looks like you have lots to share as well.

If you mounted a th350 to a mitsubishi 4 banger I doubt anything in the LS world will confuse you, welcome to the easy stuff lol

Thanks fellas. The mitsu sngine originally came in fwd and awd cars. The blocks were cast with awd/fwd and rwd mount provisions. I am really hoping to learn alot about the ls stuff and tuning. I forgot to mention that I also have a '99 Silverado Z71 with the 5.3, bone stock.
